In the summer of 1810 French forces captured Ciudad Rodrigo, a fortress commanding the Spanish-Portuguese border, from the British, forcing General Craufurd into a costly fighting withdrawal. Eighteen months later Wellington recaptured it. Using English, French and Portuguese reports and diaries, and illustrated with maps and battle plans, this detailed account of the two sieges explains their strategic significance, Napoleon’s withdrawal of troops, and the Iron Duke’s successful tactics.
